We are very grateful to have stayed in this lovely, historic home. John shared with us a wonderful history of the home and the area and Debbie was a gracious hostess. They made us feel truly welcome and it was hard to peel ourselves from the beautiful porch! We are already planning our next stay here.

Although a beautiful house, it is very old and creaky. Fortunately we were on the top floor so we didn't have to endure someone walking around above. On a brighter note the owners were wonderful and the continental breakfast was good. Location was great but the parking was a problem, especially if all rooms are booked.

We were able to check in early and were met with such a sweet greeting! Debbie and John were like family. John had a lot of history about the home and about the town that we found very interesting. Our room was so cute and very comfortable. We would highly recommend this lovely home for a night or two! Plus the breakfast was amazing and snacks and drinks we an added plus!

A beautiful historic home within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants. The hosts are delightful and the accommodations are excellent! The front porch is a wonderful spot to sit and read or simply relax and listen to the birds. We highly recommend Love Lane B&B!

The owners take great pride in offering a clean, quiet, friendly and safe place to stay. This historic home is perfectly suited for a b&b. Well made and well kept, this home offers many advantages as well as thoughtful touches you wouldn't expect like 24 hour snacks and refreshments as well as a small ICE maker so you always have ICE available. Thanks so much for making this available for us!

This B&B was in a pretty, historic home close to lots of shopping and restaurants. The bed was very comfortable and the water pressure was excellent. My concerns were that the house was kept at an uncomfortably low temperature (59 degrees downstairs and 63 upstairs)! I know it’s winter but this is too cold! My personal preference is also to have a dark room for sleeping. The white sheers on the windows did not allow for darkness, especially since there were multiple light sources outside. Adding shades of some kind would make a big difference and maybe even add a layer of insulation. The hosts and the breakfast were nice enough but not enough to make me return here.

Love Lane B&B is a wonderful place to spend a long weekend. Hosts John & Debbie couldn’t be nicer or more helpful and informative. The entire house is absolutely lovely, the room was comfy, breakfast was marvelous (fresh, warm brown bread & muffins included!), and a free history lesson from the proprietors if you’d like. And, the town of Waynesville is charming with lots of excellent restaurants, shops, parks, entertainment and fruit stands.
